The business has two main branches. Firstly, our mug-selling initiative, where we produce and sell mugs with our own designs and the proceeds go to the “Pachamama Project” charity. Secondly, our podcast, in which we interview experts about period poverty, from researchers to non-profit leaders to the victims themselves.
These two branches reflect our core values of both aid and education, which we believe work together to maximise impact. Our mugs come with a QR code to our podcast and our podcast consistently celebrates our mugs. Our dual-approach model is a unique advantage, as unlike traditional nonprofits, we combine educational content with tangible product fundraising to create long-term social impact.
Spreading awareness about the presence and prevalence of period poverty.
100% of our profits go to helping women in period poverty.
Help break the stigma around conversations about periods and period poverty.
Our organisation enables customers to purchase attractive, high-quality products while also supporting a social cause. By purchasing a mug - for the mere starting price of £5, the same as a Starbucks drink or box of celebrations - customers are giving 5 crucial pounds that will all be used to improve sanitary conditions for women in period poverty. Plus, by purchasing an everyday item which is carried around the house, workplace or social gathering without privacy - they are actively normalising the reality of menstruation and their pain of silence and stigma is transformed into openness and pride.
"Through creative merchandise, engaging media, and a driven team we aim to create meaningful change for women experiencing period poverty - one mug and one conversation at a time."
